17 For a atestamentis of force after men are dead: botherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

19 For when Moses had aspoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the bblood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and csprinkled both the book, and all the people,

20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without ashedding of blood is no bremission.

23 It was therefore necessary that the apatterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the atrue; but into bheaven itself, now to appear in the cpresence of God for us:

25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the ahigh priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once ain the bend of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the csacrifice of himself.

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

28 So Christ was once aoffered to bbear the csins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he dappear the second time without sin unto salvation.
